This report is a detailed examination that built upon the situation of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) usage within Akij Food & Beverage Ltd., in lieu of its performance, importance, and overall contribution that ERP Department bears on the functioning of the company. With its well-established ERP infrastructure that is very effective, Akij Food & Beverage Ltd. serves as a great source of information on how ERP systems are implemented and designed in the context of the large organization. In the three-month internship with AFBL, I was privy to the activities of the ERP Department where I interacted closely with the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS). My roles and duties are involved in learning to use the oracle in terms of enlistment of items, suppliers, and customers, engagement in the processes of inventory and compliance. Moreover, I have worked on a real-time project with actual experience of the Transport Management System, which further helped me to have an insight into the coordination of how to manage projects and use ERP-based processes to improve them. I have been able to pinpoint both the strengths and weaknesses of the existing practices of using the cloud-based ERP, as well as a direct impact it makes on the standard operation practices of the company with the help of this internship and report. The paper highlights the importance of the ERP Department in the smoothing of business operations, the maintenance of the integrity of data, and the provision of strategic forces in the Akij Food & Beverage Ltd.
